I think that a better definition of what Rock is tryint to say is that he doesn't like exlusive jerks, i.e., jerks that exclude others out of RP. They just happen to be cliquey by proxy, but it doesn't mean that cliques are bad. Indeed, I'd argue that cliques are kind of natural: people who like each other will, of course, spend more time with each other than with strangers. The clique becomes a problem if they go out of their way to push people aside, I'd say.
